Abstract

Certain personality traits and Psychopathologic characteristics are common to persons who undertake assassination of a president of the United States. Such persons are socially alienated and it behooves the medical profession to understand the causes of such behavior and to develop a cure for them, as well as to provide the means of preventing this “social disease.”
